Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#197 - Tony Stark

Night ~

Under the dazzling neon lights of New York City, Liang Yue arrived at the Stark Group Building in Manhattan.

The time now was just past six o'clock, and the party was officially scheduled to start at six o'clock and end at nine thirty.

Originally, Liang Yue thought that as an important figure, he should arrive later than others, so that he could enjoy the attention of thousands of eyes when he entered.

Under the spotlight and the worship of all beings, he would display his elegant and composed demeanor.

Liang Yue thought so in his heart, and he originally planned to do so ~

So, after repeated deliberation, this guy found that arriving at seven o'clock should be a good time ~

Unfortunately, the idea was good, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.

Just before five o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Liu had already driven her red sports car to his door.

Whether from her demeanor or appearance, she appeared elegant and composed, beautiful and moving, attracting much attention.

When Aunt Liu received Liang Yue's call and learned that he had actually obtained an invitation to the Stark Group's opening party, she was extremely surprised.

Because even she, a successful person who had been in North America for many years, didn't seem to have received an invitation from the Stark Group, the leader in the world's military industry.

However, when Aunt Liu learned that Tony Stark was a fan of his book and was somewhat dissatisfied with the treatment of the Stark family in the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire," and wanted to discuss the issue of plot modification with him in person.

Aunt Liu wasn't surprised, and happily accepted his invitation.

Undoubtedly, for a successful person like Aunt Liu who is active in the business world, after asset management is on the right track, the importance of connections is already the top priority.

Most of the people who can attend the Stark Group's relocation ceremony in New York are undoubtedly in powerful social strata ~

Simply being rich will definitely not get you an invitation, because no matter how rich you are, you are still a younger brother in front of Tony Stark. Only those who are rich, influential, or powerful and influential are likely to get an invitation.

Of course, for lucky people like Liang Yue who are purely lucky enough to be chosen, it is definitely unsolvable in the face of this logic ~

After handing the black invitation to the doorman and going through a set of security procedures, Liang Yue and Aunt Liu walked hand in hand towards the interior of the Stark Group.

After entering, Tony Stark's personal assistant, Pepper Potts, was standing not far away, greeting them softly with a friendly smile and directing them.

Liang Yue and Aunt Liu then followed the waiters' guidance to the party venue.

Pushing open the door, dazzling lights, explosive music, and beautiful girls twisting and dancing on the main stage... immediately rushed towards them.

"This atmosphere, it's like a nightclub ~"

Looking at the colorful and festive venue environment, Liang Yue subconsciously scratched the back of his head and said speechlessly.

"Everyone has different preferences. I heard that Mr. Stark is indeed a relatively casual person."

As she said that, Aunt Liu turned around and adjusted his bow tie for Liang Yue. After seeing the strong muscles under his sexy collarbone, a deep smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she continued.

"Not bad, it seems that although you haven't been in New York for long, you're having a great time. Relax ~!"

After saying that, Aunt Liu patted him on the shoulder, took a glass of champagne from the table next to her, and left alone.

Leaving Liang Yue alone in place, feeling a little at a loss.

After all, this was the first time in both his past and present lives that he had attended such a party. Although this guy had also learned a lot about the descriptions and suggestions for this kind of occasion from various channels.

For example, be elegant, be open, be able to chat with people, hold a glass of wine, don't eat and drink too much, etc...

Unfortunately, after really coming to this kind of occasion, Liang Yue still felt a little uncomfortable.

The essential attribute in this guy's heart is actually a homebody. Usually, besides going to school, he likes to stay in the stronghold world.

There are six charming women there, and an eagle accompanies him...

The reason why he wanted to attend the party this time was because he was a fan of Downey in his previous life, and he especially loved the other party's portrayal of Iron Man.

Now he is here just to see the real person ~

"Forget it ~ I'll just stay on the side to eat, drink, and watch the dance! At least the girls on the stage are all very beautiful!"

......

Afterwards, Liang Yue also took a glass of wine from the side, picked up a few pieces of fruit and put them on a plate, then chose a not-too-far, not-too-close position and sat directly in a wide, long sofa.

With his legs crossed, he began to concentrate on watching the song and dance performance on the stage.

About half an hour later, Liang Yue suddenly remembered something, so he turned his head to look around.

"Didn't Elizabeth also say she was coming? Why haven't I seen her? Or is it that this little girl's appearance time hasn't arrived yet..."

He rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time on his watch, which showed five minutes to seven ~

"Nice watch ~"

At this moment, in the noisy venue, a voice suddenly came from Liang Yue's side.

Looking up, the person who came was actually Downey.

Well, no, it should be Tony Stark, and he was accompanied by his fat bodyguard Happy.

"Hello ~ Mr. Stark."

Liang Yue stood up at this time and shook hands with the other party with a smile.

"Hello Liang Yue ~ Can I sit down?"

After shaking his hand lightly, Stark smiled and pointed to the seat next to him.

"Of course ~"

"You look like you're a little, uncomfortable ~"

"Yes, I'm really not used to the environment here."

"Oh right, you seem to be still in high school, but to be honest, I can't see any high school student in you, whether it's your appearance, temperament, or your writing."

"Thank you, it seems you really are a fan of my book, Mr. Stark ~"

"Hmm ~ this statement... let's skip it for now! What about my previous suggestion, have you considered it? I think my bodyguard, that is, the one next to me.

He should have conveyed my suggestion to you when he sent the invitation over."

"Oh ~ you mean, about modifying the plot?"

"Yes, so what is your opinion?"

"Sorry Mr. Stark, actually I have already finished writing the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire", and all the manuscripts have been handed over to the publishing house. It's too troublesome to modify, so I don't plan to touch it anymore ~"

"Are you sure? Then how about I pay you to write it?"

"Sorry ~"

"Okay ~ then let's change the way of cooperation. Your novel continues to be sold, and I buy your film and television adaptation rights, how about that? I plan to make it into a movie, and a TV series.

However, when the time comes, how the plot is changed is up to me ~"

"In that case, of course there is no problem, after all, I wrote this novel to make money."

"Okay! It's settled, then later, I will send someone to talk to you about the contract ~"

After speaking, Tony Stark looked relaxed, raised his glass to him, and then got up to leave ~

"That ~ actually, I also plan to do another business with you."

Seeing this, Liang Yue hurriedly called out to the other party.

To be honest, he was really not used to Tony Stark's behavior of turning his back on people after completing a transaction.

"Hmm? You plan to do business with me?"

After hearing his words, Tony Stark's eyes immediately looked at him again, but this time, the business tycoon's face no longer had a smile, but a condescending look.

In the condescending look, there was also a slight hint of pickiness...

After staring at Liang Yue for about two seconds, this nouveau riche nodded expressionlessly, and then opened his mouth.

"Alright ~ kid, I'll give you a chance, from now on, you have twenty seconds to impress me."
